Transform your living space with the Speckled Sun Basket from the Cultivate Collection. This medium-sized basket, crafted in a rich blend of seasonal colors, is perfect for making a bold wall statement or serving as a unique centerpiece on your table.
Handmade by skilled women artisans from the Batoro tribe in the rural mountains of Western Uganda, each basket supports a cooperative that empowers single mothers, widows, and marginalized women. These artisans use all-natural, sustainably sourced raffia and banana fibers, ensuring each piece is eco-friendly and unique.
The basket features a striking mix of natural and AZO-free dyes, derived from plant materials grown in the artisans' villages. The hand-dyed raffia is expertly twisted and wrapped around banana fiber coils, creating intricate designs and a sturdy structure.
A convenient hanging loop on the back allows for versatile use as wall decor or a tabletop accessory. Each basket is a testament to the dedication and skill of the weavers, who balance their craft with household duties, taking days or weeks to complete each piece.
No two baskets are identical, with slight variations in size and color, making each one a special and unique addition to your home. Handmade in Uganda, the approximate size of the basket is 13" x 3".
